Solve the equation by completing the square. –2x2 + x = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

0 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x^2 + x = 0

Solving using completing the square method

dividing through by -2, we have

x^2 - x/2 = 0

evaluate (b/2)^2

= (-1/(2x2))^2 = 1/16

adding it on both sides of the equation

x^2 - x/2 + 1/16 = 0 + 1/16

the new equation is therefore:

(x - 1/4)^2 = 1/16

taking the square root on both sides

x - 1/4 = ±√1/16

x  - 1/4 = ± 1/4

therefore

x = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2

or

x = -1/4 + 1/4 = 0

Find the meaure of the central angle the sector area is 169.56 and the radius is 9
BaLLatris [955]
Since the area of a circle is πr^{2}, and our radius is 9 we know the total area to be 254.469, and the ratio of sector area to total area is 169.56/254.469 = .6663. There are 360 degrees in a circle, so: c = 360(.6663) ≈ 240°

240 degrees

I'm going to test you (deff not for my hw)
Alja [10]

The first sequence, it is increase +1 for every number, because 2-3 is 1, 3 - 5 is 2, and 5 - 8 is 3. So, lets add 4 to 8, and we will know the next number of the sequence.

4 + 8 = 12

So, the next number in the first sequence is:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12

Second Sequence:

The second equation is doing exactly the same thing (it increases by 1 every number it goes) just this one is decreasing.

Proof: 26 - 24 is 2, 24 - 21 is 3, and 21 - 17 is 4.

Lets subtract 5 to 17 to know the next number.

17 - 5 = 12

So our next number is:

26, 24, 21, 17, 12
